The Finished lightweight Denim Shorts for Joe.

The denim shorts are finished. I decided to use flat-fell seams on this pair to give the insides a cleaner look. The pattern doesn't call for this type of seam, but I think the extra effort was worth it.

I used my Brother machine for the buttonhole and to attach the button.

These shorts came together perfectly on size. I made a size 42, which is a 36" waist according to the pattern.

I didn't have sizing issues as on my shorts with the same pattern. I had made a size 36 which should have been a 30" waist. I had to take the waist in 4".

I like this pattern. I will plan on making a pair of pants with it in the future.

These shorts fit nicely through the derriere on Joe. I would have shortened them an inch or so but to each his own. A man wants what he wants and if you don't do it right, it goes into the closet and never comes out.
